iostream-like lib?

[Max Khesin]

The trouble is that readline() reads more than i have to in the first place,
even before I call split().
I did hack it along the lines you suggested with a generator (limiting
readline() to a number of bytes and accounting for the last character being
possibly whitespace). I was just wondering if (and why not) there is/is not
direct support for whitespace-delimited input.
